Arts & Humanities - 17 September 2006

Do some archaeologist decide the meaning of an ancient word by associating it to some word which sounds like it....without reference to the context it is being used in the documents?

Apparently, there are arguments today on meanings of certain words. I saw in one film, that the Red Sea might've been the Reed Sea, because of the reeds growing there.

In line with that, Must we not preserve context very clearly to be benifitted by our descendants?

I'm wondering if several centuries back our forefathers forsake history as to make it obscure as it is now. Did they not care to seek the truth of the texts that much as we do now? Or was the existence of Christ and other debated historical 'facts' as clear as crystal to them and only obscured in this farther timeline. Thanks.

It seems as though Satan is not all that bad. I mean it's not all about sex, evil, kill and stuff. It's somewhat logical if you really read it without bias. It says that you should do what you like and not be ashamed of your sexual needs. He also said that to hurt others ONLY when others have hurt you.

What are your thoughts? Am I right, or am I going about this all wrong? Don't preach, or give hate message. I'm only a seeker of truth?

Or do anything, for that matter? I'm finding it hard to to summon up the motivation to do even the most mundane tasks. Please, if anyone can give me a reason - any reason but religion, that is - I'd greatly appreciate it.

An Angel stole my heart
The sublimes creature full of fire
Through grace I fell in love with Her
Her kiss is much more than my soul could endure.
Her pale lips on mine
I feel in fathomless love
She is the darkness in my eyes
Her flawless visage compels
My lovelorn sole is mended
My arms are swathing her body
We will never be torn apart

I usually draw the ocean, ships, mermaids, animals, clouds. I sometimes want to create cool new art projects, I've only ever used Charcoal, paints, pencil, pen, and pastels. I also wanted to try stippling on black paper, I saw it online, but I didnt know what I could use to do that, someone did the stippling in color, and mostly white. I want to try new tools, and what can I do or use? Also What else can I draw, I need some ideas? I'm sitting here on the computer with markers, and a pencil, and charcoal, I also have paints. Help me out!

My favorites right now are Tempest, Molly, and Corinne. But I am definately open to other suggestions.

The character is a sexy, dark haired 18 year old girl. She is nice though... not a *****. And she likes the "Indie" lifestyle.

Thanks!
